ExperCash

ExperCash offers complete financial management for online shops. You can use it to offer your customers payment methods via credit card, direct debit, or Giropay. Data security is provided during collection and management of transaction data.
Customers do not have to provide any sensitive information online such as credit card numbers in the online shop. ExperCash processes all these.
More detailed information about ExperCash is available at http://www.ExperCash.co.uk.
The prerequisite is registration with ExperCash and selecting either the eBASIC or eADVANCED. This registration can be performed from your shop administration. Read about this and about the required parameters in Payment method - ExperCash.
Payment process from the customer viewpoint,
The customer selects a payment method in the shopping basket based on ExperCash. Then he is transferred to the secure ExperCash payment environment. Depending upon settings, either a new browser window is opened or the data collection occurs completely automatically in the shop. See Payment method - ExperCash, display settings.
There he enters the required payment details and completes the transaction. The transaction number is shown. After returning to the shop, the customer is shown the order confirmation. This contains the transaction number that was assigned by ExperCash.
ExperCash transactions
After the customer has confirmed the transaction, it is added to the list of ExperCash-transactions in the shop administration. In the table, you can see a list of all ExperCash transactions.
In the Command column, you can see a list of all commands that can be performed for that transaction. If multiple commands are possible, these are listed in a drop-down menu. In some cases, you can enter an amount into an additional entry field that should be applied to the command. The default is to use the entire amount of the order. If no entry field is shown, then the command can only be applied to the total amount. The following commands exist:
